I finished the book review today and blogged it to Thomas Nelson. In the blog, I said that there were three points that I wanted to do explore as "shards" of this book.
They are:
l. The idea of "thin places". The early Christian Celts spoke about them--places where world were particularly close to each other. Places where if you were quiet enough, you could hear the murmurings of God. (p. 125 in book)
2. The idea of "synchronicity" (p. 164 in book) It means that when you really need something and often, when you really want something, it is there. It is rightly said that when you pray, coincidences happen.
3. The idea of a trip back to childhood (p. 144 in book) "Every pilgrimage is a journey backward. Every pilgrim's step is a step toward his childhood. And that, in the paradoxical logic of the kingdom, is the only way to go forward. It is only children who inherit the kingdom."
These are exciting thoughts to me. I will continue to explore their meaning to me.
